Bittersweet

I could be one of those people that talks about every amazing heartfelt memories I've cherished over these past four years, or more I've spent with my class. Or, I could talk about some of the things I picked up along the way of carving my path through your "great high school career". 

1. Be You. I cannot stress that enough. Sure, make some new friends, participate in sports but, stay humble. I saw kids during these couple years fall victim to the "yah lemme just copy what students do and wear and how they talk". But wait, I did that. And than I realized why try to be somebody different? Being real is one of the best traits to have. Nobody likes a fake anything.
 2. Stay Focused. I think I personally took the term procrastination to a brand new level. Yes, I waited to take an online class that would determine if I could walk or not. Already stressful right? Well one week or so before we knew if we could walk or not, I was winging a long test that test was my online class I was supposed to be doing all year.. And in the middle of that I found out I didn't need that class what so ever.. So moral of the story is to actually try to get work accomplished in the beginning of the year so you don't have to stress the last few weeks before your summer adventures.
3. Be Positive & Passionate. Don't sink into the negativity of peoples words or actions. It might seem ok to make fun of people or don't respect other peoples belongings. But you come to realize it's not. Not at all. The best people out in are society are aware of their words they speak and write. Hoping they leave a positive impact not just on our youth, but the older generations. We can effect not only individuals but groups if we are having a positive outlook on life itself. Passion, we are all born with it. Sometimes it may fade away but once you find what you love literally carpe that fucking diem. And I mean that. We all have such great energy inside us and we should use it to the best of our advantages. Doing what you love. Imagine if we all had the chance and found the passion in things we enjoy. Slowly I can see that amount of passion changing and growing. This generation is about making things happen. Chances happen. And have major changes happen.

Everyday is a new day to find something new about us and what is around us. It's all about making your path through life and leaving someone to talk about it in the end. Try to make that occur in your lifetime. Honestly those are just some of the major things I learned in high school. That's why today is so bittersweet. I am beyond thrilled to start the next chapter of my life. But its finally hit me that I learned a great deal being in the Class of 2014.
